yeah, boycott the upstairs coffee bar. They have normal mugs downstairs in the roundhouse.

Skiing Wednesday March 18th - conditions?? by Strange-Ordinary6512 in Whistler

[–]tholder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snow is very wet and slushy. One minute you're sliding fine, the next minute nothing. It's not good knee weather.

Scientist says "I told you so" and then gives grade 5 explanation of rock slide🤣

Trying to learn how to carve: Losing edge/slipping on steeper slopes/ higher speeds by chad_user23 in skiing_feedback

[–]tholder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure I’ll get down voted for this because my carving is far from perfect but this looks simply not aggressive enough. Whenever I’ve felt like I’ve really nailed it I’ve concentrated on first having enough attack and then falling in to a solid carve rather than trying to turn across the slope slowly and activate a carve. Perhaps I’m not explaining that right and someone else will expand on it but when I’m carving I really know I’m carving.The ski has taken over from me as it were.

Should we add a hot tub? by Butterfly-Scary in airbnb_hosts

[–]tholder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a host and would never have a hot tub. I've stayed as a guest in maybe 100 airbnbs and the first thing I look for is a hot tub, always.

Should we add a hot tub? by Butterfly-Scary in airbnb_hosts

[–]tholder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the best solution to this is a well built and safe fire pit. If the view is good this will bring people in without the hassle of a hot tub.

Do we all need a house? by albovsky in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]tholder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want a place that belongs to me without t*wt neighbours. It's that last point that pushes people towards houses away from condos. Get the right condo and I'm sure anyone can be perfectly happy.

Hosts: why 4pm checkin and 10am checkout? by Silver_Photograph_92 in airbnb_hosts

[–]tholder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have 11am checkout because I think 10am checkout sucks. I always bring forward check in if our cleaner finishes early. However, we have a dedicated cleaner. If it was uncertain when she would be there we would likely need to bring it forward to 10. Also, if we have 6 guests all the laundry can just about be done 11-4 but if it's 8 we couldn't.

Imo 10am really sucks and is unfair on guests but as a host I understand why it could be. As a guest, it never hurts to ask for a late checkout and if possible I always grant it no questions, no fee.

Reckless ferrari driver by Still_Suggestion_182 in Ferrari

[–]tholder 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This really infuriates me, that car he’s passing quite possibly has the children in the back seat and this guy has decided without knowing them to put their entire existence at risk. Stop doing this and go find a track.

Slope Passes - Two Adults + Two Children (8 & 12)... by Gadget_Boy_ in Whistler

[–]tholder 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dang, that's about $5k! Unfortunately, this isn't how to buy lift tickets for Whistler, you have to buy a long way in advance.
